Who Should I Start? Zach Pascal or Justin Watson

The New York Giants released wide receiver Zach Pascal on Friday. The 30-year-old had the best stretch of his career with the Colts, where he caught 15 touchdowns in 64 regular-season contests. However, he wasn't nearly as impactful from a statistical standpoint in stints with the Eagles and Cardinals. Pascal signed with the Giants in March, but now he's back on the market and looking for work. There's a chance he'll sign with another team at some point moving ahead. Still, Pascal is a long way away from being a relevant fantasy option in any format.

The Houston Texans have opened the practice windows for tight end Harrison Bryant (neck) and wide receiver Justin Watson (Achilles, calf). Bryant and Watson both returned to practice on Wednesday and could suit up on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, depending on how they do in practice this week. The 27-year-old Bryant should slide back in alongside Cade Stover as the Texans' primary backup tight ends behind Dalton Schultz. Bryant played 25.7% of the snaps on offense and recorded two catches for seven yards on six targets over eight games before his injury. Watson played in the first two games this season before being placed on Injured Reserve. The 29-year-old had a role in the offense, playing 49.1% of the snaps and hauling in three of his four targets for 30 yards. It remains to be seen how he'll be integrated back into the offense with the emergence of rookie Jayden Higgins in recent weeks. Neither Bryant nor Watson profiles as a fantasy option worth considering in most leagues.
